Why I Still Love Bannerlord Despite Its Flaws Hello everyone I've been thinking about this for a while, and I wanted to share it with anyone who enjoys Bannerlord, or wants to enjoy it more. If you're already having fun throughout the entire game, that's great. This post probably isn't aimed at you. But if you've ever felt that Bannerlord has incredible potential yet somehow loses its magic after the early game, maybe this perspective will help. I completely understand the criticism the game receives. Bannerlord could have been so much more. The quests become repetitive, diplomacy lacks depth, and many of its mechanics never evolve as much as they could. The early game is exciting, the mid game starts to slow down and the late game often turns into a grind. I agree with all of that. And yet... I still enjoy every stage of the game. The reason is simple; I don't rely on the game to tell my story. I create one myself. To me, Bannerlord feels less like a tra...

Curious to see what everyone else's hot takes on the new DLC would be. I've seen stuff like Nords are too weak and Valandia are too strong which I've not seen play out in the 3 campaigns I've played HOWEVER my hot take is the new tutorial ends up being pretty solid. You finish clan tier 1, get a bunch of gold and equipment and some skill exp by the end of it. You can grab a companion from the city you're in and you're ready to go and rescue your brother. I really like the naval combat, you can basically skip the story and just do the missions if you've done it before and it's simple enough that you almost can't fail a mission. I figured I'd skip it in my most recent playthrough and I actually found going town to town transporting sheep or buying tools for villages really boring. I could be sailing the sea with my bald viking buddy and serving up some cold vengance to that traitor Purig. I understand the rescue mission and the one where you have to take out the boat fort can be tedious and slow but so can lots of Bannerlord. The RTS camera mod let's you fast forward a lot of the slow stuff but I honestly didn't mind taking my time with it and having some fun. Now that I can hit clan tier 2 in a much more engaging and immersive way I think I'll be taking the tutorial for my campaign playthroughs and leaving the sheppard role play for my sandbox runs. What is everyone else's opinion? Do you find the old way a little boring now? [link] [comments] |
